A criticality accident is an accidental uncontrolled nuclear fission chain reaction. It is sometimes referred to as a critical excursion, critical power

In nuclear engineering, prompt criticality is the criticality (the state in which a nuclear chain reaction is self-sustaining) that is achieved with prompt

or not (encompassing criticality in strict definition and supercriticality). In terms of reactivity, reactivity is 0 in criticality, less than 0 in subcriticality

Criticality index is mainly used in risk analysis. The Criticality Index of an activity (task) can be expressed as a ratio (between 0 and 1) but is more

regulatory oversight. There was no criticality accident alarm (because the licensing board incorrectly concluded that a criticality accident could not happen)

Self-organized criticality (SOC) is a property of dynamical systems that have a critical point as an attractor. Their macroscopic behavior thus displays
